Another vote for the Crescendo. I've had mine almost a year and I love it! It will sew through anything and any thickness of quilt. It also loves my favorite thread from Connecting Threads--and the laser light I can't say how much time that has saved me. When I'm doing straight line quilting, I don't have to mark the quilt, just hold a small ruler about 8 inches away on the quilt and aim the laser for that. Works like a charm.
